Brief summary

The primary objective of this study is to assess the corrected QT interval (QTc) effect of volanesorsen (ISIS 304801) administered as a 300 mg subcutaneous (SC) therapeutic and a 300 mg intravenous (IV; 2-hour infusion) supra-therapeutic dose relative to placebo in healthy adult male and female subjects.
